Freedom from domination

What we mean by freedom from domination

To us freedom from domination (or anarchy) means a way of living together without exerting power over each other, neither „legitimised“ power, nor hidden power, nor structural power. A situation in which people voluntarily decide to live, work, party with certain people (free association). A situation in which the rules the people observe are being determined by themselves, because they agree with them.

Why we want freedom from domination

Because we want to live freely and self-determinedly

Because we don’t want to exert power over each other or limit each others freedom

Because it’s wise not to subordinate oneself under the knowledge, experience and wishes of one individual

Because we want to found a permanent community. In our opinion this can only be achieved if everyone feels included and if we’re all considerate of everone else and if everyone can bring in what’s important to them.

How we’re planning on implementing this

Decisions are being taken in consensus

Children do not have to go to school

Communal economy (no domination by money)

Antisexism (no domination by sex: Search of, analysis of and criticism on domination of sex)

Transparency (no hidden dominance)

Self-determined education (reduction of dominance through hierarchies of knowledge or experience)
